Others are fleeing famine, but I am a salted fish

Just like that, with the tree he had climbed up originally as the center, he swung around all the surrounding trees of similar height, and then quickly landed with a cloth bag full of Hericium erinaceus in his hand.

The three people who kept their necks tilted upwards under the tree had their neck muscles stretched.

Only when the others landed on the ground and walked towards them did they react.

Ouch, my neck really hurts.

Lin Xiaoyue came down with a big bag of bulging Hericium erinaceus and placed it next to the three of them. She glanced at the result in the basket of her second sister Lin Zhaodi. Well, not bad, bigger than her fist, and there were three of them.

"Second sister, aren't you going to pick them?"

Lin Zhaodi glanced at her and glared at her. "I don't have any ropes. Do you have any? Give me a long one."

As he said this, he stretched out his hand, which was pierced by several short thorns and had scratched the skin, towards Lin Xiaoyue and waved it in front of Lin Xiaoyue's eyes.

Lin Xiaoyue pursed her lips, silently put down her backpack, pulled out another rope from it and handed it to her.

Chun Xing and Xiao Cao were quite surprised. How could Sister San Ya's bag hold so much? It was already filled with tent cloth and some miscellaneous things, so how could it hold such a large bundle of ropes?

Xiao Cao remembered that when Sister San Ya carried her on her back, she had to carry both the crossbow and the backpack. The weight of the backpack was obvious...

Xiaocao's eyes flashed as if she thought of something. She bit her lower lip and said nothing, simply ignoring the strangeness in her heart.

Chun Xing, who was meticulous in her thinking, naturally thought of the same thing as Xiao Cao, but she just didn't say it out loud.

Lin Zhaodi knew about the "storage bag" of her third sister, so unlike the other two who thought about it for a while, she took it very naturally. Without saying a word, she stood up, patted her butt, walked a long distance to the side, then picked a tree, and followed Lin Xiaoyue's example, tied the rope to the crossbow, and shot at the largest branch...

Everything was ready. She gritted her teeth and wrapped her palms with foot binding strips, tested the rope's bearing capacity, and then climbed up step by step, imitating Lin Xiaoyue's way.

Lin Xiaoyue was not idle either. After watching Lin Zhaodi for a while and thinking that nothing unexpected would happen, she took the Hericium erinaceus out of the bag and placed it on a clean ground to dry in the sun. She then asked the two girls to string the Hericium erinaceus together with needle and thread. They then went out of the valley where the sun could not be seen and hung the mushrooms outside the backpack to dry in the sun as they walked. In a few days, they would be thoroughly dried.

After explaining everything, Lin Xiaoyue took a sip of water to calm down, and reminded the two that although everything seemed calm at the moment, they still had to be careful to prevent any crimes.

Seeing the two men waving the sharp blades in their hands at her, she put on her backpack and went over to untie the rope tied to the tree, and then pulled the rope back towards the uncut tree.

The two of them went up and down several times, especially Lin Xiaoyue, who not only carried a lot of harvest every time she came to rest, but also secretly smuggled a lot of Hericium erinaceus into the space, which made her very tired.

The two of them specially picked more, so they kept it simple for lunch. They cooked a soup with freshly picked, lively and plump Hericium erinaceus and soaked instant noodles. Chun Xing also added a few red dates and wolfberries.

It tastes delicious, white, tender and smooth, and its taste and texture are more delicious than meat. It can be used as both medicine and food, rich in nutrition and safe and healthy, which is simply a great enjoyment.

Four people gathered around a clay pot burning on a small fire, adding water and fresh Hericium erinaceus several times in a row, which was extremely luxurious.

In the end, the four of them ate so much that they could hardly stand up straight, so they gave up.

Needless to say, after eating this luxurious meal of Hericium erinaceus instant noodles, the four of them were so full that they couldn't bear it, and the aftereffects were terrible.

Everyone was sitting there unable to get up, smacking the fragrance in their mouths, looking at the many Hericium erinaceus that had not been picked on the surrounding trees, feeling heartbroken.

Chun Xing sighed, "Oh, so this is what the emperor and the nobles eat. It tastes really good. I really want to buy this whole forest and take it away with me."

Xiao Cao rubbed his stomach and burped, "Why don't we stay here for two more days and eat more before we leave."

Lin Zhaodi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "That's enough. You still need to treat the wound on your face. It's a matter for a lifetime. It's not more important than eating."

If this question were asked by an older girl, she would definitely make the decision without even thinking about it.

But Xiaocao is only 9 years old. For a girl of her age, delicious food ranks most important in her heart.

Therefore, when Lin Zhaodi teased her, Xiaocao really struggled with a bitter face, and her facial expressions kept changing. It was obvious that she was really considering carefully whether eating was more important or having a pretty face was more important.

The three of them laughed so hard. This girl usually had a stern face and pretended to be an adult. It was rare for her to look so sad.

"Okay, stop thinking about it. Don't forget why we went up the mountain. Also, the three of you are injured now, but you are still gritting your teeth and hanging around in the mountains. Isn't it just for the herbs to heal your injuries? Don't put the cart before the horse."

It's not easy to get there, just make a mark, and when you're healed, you can come back as many times as you want. Anyway, it's close, in the mountains behind the village, it's like your own backyard.

After saying this, Lin Xiaoyue took the initiative to stand up and clean up the dishes. She told Lin Zhaodi to hang all the Hericium erinaceus that had been strung on a string to dry on the ground outside the backpack, and to put the extra ones into the basket first.

From a distance, it looked like Lin Zhaodi was carrying a large white thing on her back, and the basket was completely filled with Hericium erinaceus hanging outside.

Not only that, Chun Xing also had two strings of mushrooms hanging from her body, Xiao Cao also had one hanging from the backpack on his back, and the four of them also had monkey head mushroom hats on their heads...

In short, nothing picked was wasted, and they all took it away.

The four of them looked at each other with strange looks and costumes, and they tried to hold back their laughter but still couldn't help laughing out loud.

As the old saying goes: Good fortune lies within the shadow of misfortune, and misfortune lies within the shadow of good fortune.

It was time to leave this area, and the four of them were a little reluctant, but no matter how reluctant they were, they had to keep moving forward.

Chun Xing said that they only needed three more herbs to complete the task. If they still missed it later, they could just wait until they finished eating all the Hericium erinaceus they picked this time and then look for it again.

At the beginning of the Shen time (3 pm), the four people finally walked out of the ravine and returned to the deep mountains under the scorching sun.

Because they had used too much water in the dead woods at noon, the water in the four people's water bags was almost empty. The four people could only put finding water source as the most important thing.

The air was very hot and there was no wind, so I broke into sweat in no time.

But from noon to early 3 p.m., the group still hadn't found any water, and they began to get anxious.

It's so hot today, no one can hold on without drinking water. Even if Xiaocao and Chunxing noticed that she had a hidden secret, Lin Xiaoyue never thought of exposing it.
